"The Oddfellows Temple was built in 1912 to house the Oddfellows lodge which had been operating in the city since 1884. The top floor was reserved for meetings and the secret rituals that were typical of such societies of the day, while the lower floors housed offices and retail operations. The building was purchased by the Calgary Chamber of Commerce and adapted for its use in 1979."

There are currently four lodges listed in Calgary:

  • Alberta Oddfellows Historical Lodge No. 1

The Alberta Oddfellows Historical Lodge No. 1 is listed as the Grand Lodge of Alberta and is co-located with the Hillhurst Lodge. These lodges are located in a northwest residential area of Calgary in a former private residence, not nearly the size and grandeur of the building of 100 years ago. They are located at 24 Northmount Drive NW.
